City Halls and Post Offices, The Essential Main Street Assets

Character towns view City hall as the downtown icon. Downtown doesn’t seem like downtown without a visible city hall, especially in a small town. City hall represents stability to citizens as they attend hearings, pay utility bills and meet with elected or appointed officials to discuss civic matters. City halls draw people together, downtown.

Thankfully we are correcting the many decisions that re-located city hall out of downtown. Many new city halls are being constructed or re- constructed on or near main street. In Central Florida this has happened in Winter Garden, DeLand, Clermont, Tavares, Maitland, Apopka, Kissimmee and St. Cloud.
